1A is a schematic plan view of the light emitting device 1 according to the first embodiment, FIG. 1B is a circuit diagram of the light emitting device 1 according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 1C is a sectional view taken along line 1C-1C in FIG. 1A. , FIG. 1D is a cross-sectional view of 1D-1D in FIG. 1A. In FIG. 1A, the translucent member 50 and the phosphor 60 are not shown. As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, the light emitting device 1 according to the first embodiment includes a base 10 and at least one first light emitting element 21 having an emission peak wavelength in a wavelength range of 420 nm or more and less than 480 nm. It is composed of a first light emitting element portion arranged on the base 10 and at least one second light emitting element 22 having an emission peak wavelength in a wavelength range of 480 nm or more and 530 nm or less, and is arranged on the base 10 and is a first light emitting element. Translucency including a second light emitting element unit connected in parallel to the unit and a phosphor 60 in which the excitation efficiency by light from the first light emitting element 21 is higher than the excitation efficiency by light from the second light emitting element 22. The light emitting device includes the member 50, and the light emitting intensity of the first light emitting element portion is higher than the light emitting intensity of the second light emitting element portion. In the light emitting device 1 according to the first embodiment, the second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source is required to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity, and the first light emitting element unit as a main light source is sufficiently emitted with a desired light emitting intensity. Let me. Therefore, it is possible to extract light having a brightness suitable for the intended use from the light emitting device 1. The details will be described below.

（基台１０）
基台１０には、例えば、母材上に配線を備えた絶縁性基板を用いることができるほか、本実施形態のように金属板１４が樹脂部１５に埋設された樹脂パッケージなどを用いることができる。絶縁性基板の母材には例えばセラミックなどを用いることができる。絶縁性基板の配線や樹脂パッケージの金属板１４は、後述する第１電極１１や第２電極１２またはこれらの電極の一部に相当し、例えば、鉄、銅、銀、コバール、ニッケルなどからなる。 (Base 10)
For the base 10, for example, an insulating substrate having wiring on a base material can be used, or a resin package in which a metal plate 14 is embedded in a resin portion 15 as in the present embodiment can be used. it can. For example, ceramic or the like can be used as the base material of the insulating substrate. The wiring of the insulating substrate and the metal plate 14 of the resin package correspond to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, which will be described later, or a part of these electrodes, and are made of, for example, iron, copper, silver, Kovar, nickel, or the like. ..

基台１０は第１電極１１と第２電極１２とを有する。第１電極１１と第２電極１２は、第１発光素子部が第１ワイヤ３１を介して電気的に接続される領域に第１メッキ層１６を有し、第２発光素子部が第２ワイヤ３２を介して電気的に接続される領域に第２メッキ層１７を有することが好ましい。このようにすれば、第１メッキ層１６と第２メッキ層１７とを互いに導電率が異なるメッキ材料や互いに厚みが異なるメッキ材料などで構成することにより、第１発光素子部に流れる電流を第２発光素子部に流れる電流よりも大きくすることができる。したがって、補助光源としての第２発光素子部を必要にして十分な発光強度で発光させつつ、主要光源としての第１発光素子部を所望の発光強度で十分に発光させることが容易になる。導電率が互いに異なる材料で構成される場合の一例としては、第１メッキ層１６のメッキ材料が銀であり、第２メッキ層１７のメッキ材料が金である場合を挙げることができる。 The base 10 has a first electrode 11 and a second electrode 12. The first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 have a first plating layer 16 in a region where the first light emitting element portion is electrically connected via the first wire 31, and the second light emitting element portion is the second wire. It is preferable to have the second plating layer 17 in the region electrically connected via 32. In this way, by forming the first plating layer 16 and the second plating layer 17 with plating materials having different conductivitys or plating materials having different thicknesses, the current flowing through the first light emitting element portion can be generated. 2 It can be made larger than the current flowing through the light emitting element section. Therefore, it becomes easy to sufficiently emit light from the first light emitting element unit as the main light source with a desired light emitting intensity while requiring a second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity. As an example of the case where the materials having different conductivitys are used, the case where the plating material of the first plating layer 16 is silver and the plating material of the second plating layer 17 is gold can be mentioned.

図１Ａにおいて、第１メッキ層１６及び第２メッキ層１７は、第１ワイヤ３１及び第２ワイヤ３２と第１電極１１及び第２電極１２とが接続される領域とその近傍のみに配置されている。このようにすれば、必要な部分にのみ第１メッキ層１６及び第２メッキ層１７が配置されるため、用いるメッキの量を抑制することができる。また、メッキを設ける領域が小さくなるため、第１メッキ層１６及び第２メッキ層１７が光反射率の低いメッキ材料からなる場合において、光取り出し効率の低下を抑制することができる。なお、第１メッキ層１６及び第２メッキ層１７は、第１電極１１及び第２電極１２の全面に第１メッキ層１６を設けた後、第２ワイヤ３２が接続される領域とその周囲にのみ第２メッキ層１７をスポット塗布することなどにより、平面視において第２ワイヤ３２が接続される領域とその周囲を除く全面に第１メッキ層１６が位置するよう配置されていてもよい。 In FIG. 1A, the first plating layer 16 and the second plating layer 17 are arranged only in the region where the first wire 31 and the second wire 32 are connected to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 and their vicinity thereof. There is. By doing so, since the first plating layer 16 and the second plating layer 17 are arranged only in the necessary portions, the amount of plating used can be suppressed. Further, since the area where the plating is provided becomes small, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the light extraction efficiency when the first plating layer 16 and the second plating layer 17 are made of a plating material having a low light reflectance. In the first plating layer 16 and the second plating layer 17, after the first plating layer 16 is provided on the entire surface of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, the region to which the second wire 32 is connected and its surroundings are formed. Only by spot-coating the second plating layer 17, the first plating layer 16 may be arranged so as to be located on the entire surface excluding the region to which the second wire 32 is connected and the periphery thereof in a plan view.

基台１０は、第１電極１１や第２電極１２に加えて、放熱を目的とする部位を有していてもよい。 The base 10 may have a portion for heat dissipation in addition to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12.

（第１発光素子部、第２発光素子部）
第１発光素子部は少なくとも１つの第１発光素子２１からなり、第２発光素子部は少なくとも１つの第２発光素子２２からなる。換言すると、第１発光素子部は、本実施形態のように１つの第１発光素子２１から構成されていてもよいし、後述する他の実施形態のように複数の第１発光素子２１から構成されていてもよい。同様に、第２発光素子部は、本実施形態のように１つの第２発光素子２２から構成されていてもよいし、後述する他の実施形態のように複数の第２発光素子２２から構成されていてもよい。第１発光素子部が複数の第１発光素子２１からなる場合、複数の第１発光素子２１同士は、直列接続、並列接続又はこれらの組み合わせで互いに接続される。同様に、第２発光素子部が複数の第２発光素子２２からなる場合、複数の第２発光素子２２同士は、直列接続、並列接続又はこれらの組み合わせで互いに接続される。 (1st light emitting element part, 2nd light emitting element part)
The first light emitting element unit is composed of at least one first light emitting element 21, and the second light emitting element unit is composed of at least one second light emitting element 22. In other words, the first light emitting element unit may be composed of one first light emitting element 21 as in the present embodiment, or may be composed of a plurality of first light emitting elements 21 as in other embodiments described later. It may have been. Similarly, the second light emitting element unit may be composed of one second light emitting element 22 as in the present embodiment, or may be composed of a plurality of second light emitting elements 22 as in other embodiments described later. It may have been. When the first light emitting element unit is composed of a plurality of first light emitting elements 21, the plurality of first light emitting elements 21 are connected to each other in series connection, parallel connection, or a combination thereof. Similarly, when the second light emitting element unit is composed of a plurality of second light emitting elements 22, the plurality of second light emitting elements 22 are connected to each other in series connection, parallel connection, or a combination thereof.

第２発光素子部は第１発光素子部に対し並列に接続されている。すなわち、第２発光素子部は、第１発光素子部の第１端子と第２発光素子部の第１端子とが同電位となり、第１発光素子部の第２端子と第２発光素子部の第２端子とが同電位となるよう、第１発光素子部に対して接続される。第２発光素子部が第１発光素子部に対して並列に接続されるため、第１発光素子部を構成する第１発光素子２１と第２発光素子部を構成する第２発光素子２２とが直列に接続されることはない。なお、第１発光素子部が１つの第１発光素子からなる場合、第１発光素子部の第１端子は第１発光素子のカソード及びアノードのいずれか一方に相当し、第１発光素子部の第２端子は第１発光素子のカソード及びアノードのいずれか他方に相当する。同様に、第２発光素子部が１つの第２発光素子からなる場合、第２発光素子部の第１端子は第２発光素子のカソード及びアノードのいずれか一方に相当し、第２発光素子部の第２端子は第２発光素子のカソード及びアノードのいずれか他方に相当する。また、第１発光素子部が複数の第１発光素子からなる場合は、第１発光素子部の第１端子と第２端子との間で、複数の第１発光素子が直列接続、並列接続、またはこれらの組み合わせで互いに接続される。同様に、第２発光素子部が複数の第２発光素子からなる場合は、第２発光素子部の第１端子と第２端子との間で、複数の第２発光素子が直列接続、並列接続、またはこれらの組み合わせで互いに接続される。 The second light emitting element unit is connected in parallel to the first light emitting element unit. That is, in the second light emitting element portion, the first terminal of the first light emitting element portion and the first terminal of the second light emitting element portion have the same potential, and the second terminal of the first light emitting element portion and the second light emitting element portion have the same potential. It is connected to the first light emitting element portion so that the second terminal and the second terminal have the same potential. Since the second light emitting element portion is connected in parallel to the first light emitting element portion, the first light emitting element 21 constituting the first light emitting element portion and the second light emitting element 22 constituting the second light emitting element portion are connected. It is not connected in series. When the first light emitting element portion is composed of one first light emitting element, the first terminal of the first light emitting element portion corresponds to either the cathode or the anode of the first light emitting element, and the first light emitting element portion of the first light emitting element portion. The second terminal corresponds to either the cathode or the anode of the first light emitting element. Similarly, when the second light emitting element portion is composed of one second light emitting element, the first terminal of the second light emitting element portion corresponds to either the cathode or the anode of the second light emitting element, and the second light emitting element portion The second terminal corresponds to either the cathode or the anode of the second light emitting element. When the first light emitting element unit is composed of a plurality of first light emitting elements, a plurality of first light emitting elements are connected in series or in parallel between the first terminal and the second terminal of the first light emitting element unit. Or they are connected to each other by a combination of these. Similarly, when the second light emitting element unit is composed of a plurality of second light emitting elements, a plurality of second light emitting elements are connected in series or in parallel between the first terminal and the second terminal of the second light emitting element unit. , Or a combination of these connected to each other.

第１発光素子２１は、青色に発光する発光素子、より具体的には４２０ｎｍ以上４８０ｎｍ未満の波長域に発光ピーク波長がある発光素子である。第２発光素子２２は、青緑色に発光する発光素子、より具体的には４８０ｎｍ以上５３０ｎｍ以下の波長域に発光ピーク波長がある発光素子である。 The first light emitting element 21 is a light emitting element that emits blue light, and more specifically, a light emitting element having a emission peak wavelength in a wavelength range of 420 nm or more and less than 480 nm. The second light emitting element 22 is a light emitting element that emits blue-green light, and more specifically, a light emitting element having an emission peak wavelength in a wavelength range of 480 nm or more and 530 nm or less.

第１発光素子２１と第２発光素子２２には、発光ダイオード（ＬＥＤ）などの、半導体を備えた半導体発光素子を用いることができる。半導体としては、インジウムを含む窒化物系半導体（Ｉｎ_ＸＡｌ_ＹＧａ_{１−Ｘ−Ｙ}Ｎ、０≦Ｘ、０≦Ｙ、Ｘ＋Ｙ≦１）等を用いることができる。第１発光素子２１と第２発光素子２２の形状は基台１０の形状や大きさに合わせて適宜選択することができる。第１発光素子２１と第２発光素子２２の平面形状は、例えば正方形状、長方形状、または六角形状等である。 As the first light emitting element 21 and the second light emitting element 22, a semiconductor light emitting element including a semiconductor such as a light emitting diode (LED) can be used. As the semiconductor, a nitride-based semiconductor containing indium (In _X Al _Y Ga _1-XY N, 0 ≦ X, 0 ≦ Y, X + Y ≦ 1) and the like can be used. The shapes of the first light emitting element 21 and the second light emitting element 22 can be appropriately selected according to the shape and size of the base 10. The planar shape of the first light emitting element 21 and the second light emitting element 22 is, for example, a square shape, a rectangular shape, a hexagonal shape, or the like.

第１発光素子の順方向電圧は第２発光素子の順方向電圧よりも低いことが好ましい。発光素子の順方向電圧は、フォワード電圧とも呼ばれ、発光素子が発光するために必要な最小電圧である。順方向電圧が低いほど内部抵抗が低く電流が流れやすくなるため、上記のようにすれば、第１発光素子部に流れる電流を第２発光素子部に流れる電流よりも大きくすることができる。このため、補助光源としての第２発光素子部を必要にして十分な発光強度で発光させつつ、主要光源としての第１発光素子部を所望の発光強度で十分に発光させることが容易になる。 The forward voltage of the first light emitting element is preferably lower than the forward voltage of the second light emitting element. The forward voltage of the light emitting element, also called the forward voltage, is the minimum voltage required for the light emitting element to emit light. Since the lower the forward voltage, the lower the internal resistance and the easier it is for the current to flow, the current flowing through the first light emitting element unit can be made larger than the current flowing through the second light emitting element unit. Therefore, it becomes easy to sufficiently emit light from the first light emitting element unit as the main light source with a desired light emitting intensity while requiring a second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity.

第１発光素子２１と第２発光素子２２はｐ電極２３、２４をそれぞれ備えていることが好ましく、ｐ電極２３、２４はパッド電極２３ａ、２４ａと補助電極２３ｂ、２４ｂとをそれぞれ有していることが好ましい。そして第１発光素子２１のｐ電極２３が有する補助電極２３ｂの面積は、第２発光素子２２のｐ電極２４が有する補助電極２４ｂの面積よりも大きいことが好ましく、この点は、特に第１発光素子２１と第２発光素子２２の平面形状が同一である場合（ほぼ同一である場合を含む。）に好ましい。このようにすれば、第１発光素子２１を流れる電流の流路の断面積が第２発光素子２２を流れる電流の流路の断面積よりも大きくなる。したがって、第１発光素子部に流れる電流を第２発光素子部に流れる電流よりも大きくすることができる。このため、補助光源としての第２発光素子部を必要にして十分な発光強度で発光させつつ、主要光源としての第１発光素子部を所望の発光強度で十分に発光させることが容易になる。 The first light emitting element 21 and the second light emitting element 22 preferably include p electrodes 23 and 24, respectively, and the p electrodes 23 and 24 have pad electrodes 23a and 24a and auxiliary electrodes 23b and 24b, respectively. Is preferable. The area of the auxiliary electrode 23b of the p-electrode 23 of the first light emitting element 21 is preferably larger than the area of the auxiliary electrode 24b of the p-electrode 24 of the second light emitting element 22, and this point is particularly the first light emission. It is preferable when the planar shapes of the element 21 and the second light emitting element 22 are the same (including the case where they are substantially the same). In this way, the cross-sectional area of the flow path of the current flowing through the first light emitting element 21 becomes larger than the cross-sectional area of the flow path of the current flowing through the second light emitting element 22. Therefore, the current flowing through the first light emitting element portion can be made larger than the current flowing through the second light emitting element portion. Therefore, it becomes easy to sufficiently emit light from the first light emitting element unit as the main light source with a desired light emitting intensity while requiring a second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity.

第１発光素子２１のｐ電極２３が有するパッド電極２３ａの高さは、第２発光素子２２のｐ電極２４が有するパッド電極２４ａの高さよりも低いことが好ましい。このようにすれば、第１発光素子２１のパッド電極２３ａを流れる電流の流路の全長が第２発光素子２２のパッド電極２４ａを流れる電流の流路の全長よりも短くなる。したがって、第１発光素子部に流れる電流を第２発光素子部に流れる電流よりも大きくすることができる。このため、補助光源としての第２発光素子部を必要にして十分な発光強度で発光させつつ、主要光源としての第１発光素子部を所望の発光強度で十分に発光させることが容易になる。 The height of the pad electrode 23a of the p electrode 23 of the first light emitting element 21 is preferably lower than the height of the pad electrode 24a of the p electrode 24 of the second light emitting element 22. In this way, the total length of the current flow path through the pad electrode 23a of the first light emitting element 21 is shorter than the total length of the current flow path through the pad electrode 24a of the second light emitting element 22. Therefore, the current flowing through the first light emitting element portion can be made larger than the current flowing through the second light emitting element portion. Therefore, it becomes easy to sufficiently emit light from the first light emitting element unit as the main light source with a desired light emitting intensity while requiring a second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity.

第１発光素子部と第２発光素子部は、基台１０上、より具体的には第１電極１１上に配置されている。発光装置１は、第１発光素子２１と第１電極１１とを接着する第１樹脂部４１と、第２発光素子２２と第１電極１１とを接着する第２樹脂部４２と、を備えていてもよい。この場合、第１樹脂部４１と第２樹脂部４２は放熱性が異なることが好ましく、特に第１樹脂部４１の放熱性は第２樹脂部４２の放熱性より低いことが好ましい。発光素子の電気抵抗は発光素子周辺の熱が上がるほど下がる傾向にあるため、このようにすれば、第１発光素子部に流れる電流を第２発光素子部に流れる電流よりも大きくすることができる。このため、補助光源としての第２発光素子部を必要にして十分な発光強度で発光させつつ、主要光源としての第１発光素子部を所望の発光強度で十分に発光させることが容易になる。 The first light emitting element portion and the second light emitting element portion are arranged on the base 10, more specifically, on the first electrode 11. The light emitting device 1 includes a first resin portion 41 for adhering the first light emitting element 21 and the first electrode 11, and a second resin portion 42 for adhering the second light emitting element 22 and the first electrode 11. You may. In this case, it is preferable that the first resin portion 41 and the second resin portion 42 have different heat dissipation properties, and in particular, the heat dissipation property of the first resin section 41 is preferably lower than that of the second resin section 42. Since the electric resistance of the light emitting element tends to decrease as the heat around the light emitting element increases, the current flowing through the first light emitting element portion can be made larger than the current flowing through the second light emitting element portion. .. Therefore, it becomes easy to sufficiently emit light from the first light emitting element unit as the main light source with a desired light emitting intensity while requiring a second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity.

第１発光素子部の発光強度とは、第１発光素子部が１つの第１発光素子からなる場合は当該１つの第１発光素子の発光強度をいい、第１発光素子部が複数の第１発光素子からなる場合は複数の第１発光素子の発光強度の総和をいう。同様に、第２発光素子部の発光強度とは、第２発光素子部が１つの第２発光素子からなる場合は当該１つの第２発光素子の発光強度をいい、第２発光素子部が複数の第２発光素子からなる場合は複数の第２発光素子の発光強度の総和をいう。発光素子の発光強度は、発光素子の発光ピーク波長、発光スペクトル、発光素子の平面積、及び／又は発光素子が有する半導体積層体の種類等によって決まる。 The light emitting intensity of the first light emitting element unit means the light emitting intensity of the first light emitting element when the first light emitting element unit is composed of one first light emitting element, and the first light emitting element unit has a plurality of first light emitting elements. When it is composed of light emitting elements, it means the sum of the light emitting intensities of a plurality of first light emitting elements. Similarly, the light emitting intensity of the second light emitting element unit means the light emitting intensity of the one second light emitting element when the second light emitting element unit is composed of one second light emitting element, and there are a plurality of second light emitting element units. When the second light emitting element is composed of the above, it means the sum of the light emitting intensities of the plurality of second light emitting elements. The emission intensity of the light emitting element is determined by the emission peak wavelength of the light emitting element, the emission spectrum, the flat area of the light emitting element, and / or the type of semiconductor laminate possessed by the light emitting element.

第１発光素子部の発光強度に対する第２発光素子部の発光強度の比は、０．２以上０．６以下であることが好ましい。これにより、第２発光素子部を補助光源として用いることができ、演色性の優れた発光装置を提供することができる。 The ratio of the light emitting intensity of the second light emitting element portion to the light emitting intensity of the first light emitting element portion is preferably 0.2 or more and 0.6 or less. As a result, the second light emitting element unit can be used as an auxiliary light source, and a light emitting device having excellent color rendering properties can be provided.

第１発光素子部と第２発光素子部は、ワイヤボンディングやフリップチップ方式などにより、第１電極１１及び第２電極１２に電気的に接続することができる。本実施形態ではワイヤボンディングにより電気的に接続される。具体的には、第１発光素子部は、第１電極１１及び第２電極１２に対して第１ワイヤ３１によって電気的に接続され、第２発光素子部は、第１電極１１及び第２電極１２に対して第２ワイヤ３２によって電気的に接続される。 The first light emitting element portion and the second light emitting element portion can be electrically connected to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 by wire bonding, a flip chip method, or the like. In this embodiment, they are electrically connected by wire bonding. Specifically, the first light emitting element portion is electrically connected to the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 by the first wire 31, and the second light emitting element portion is the first electrode 11 and the second electrode. It is electrically connected to 12 by a second wire 32.

（第１ワイヤ３１、第２ワイヤ３２）
第１ワイヤ３１と第２ワイヤ３２は互いに異なる材料からなることが好ましい。また、第１ワイヤ３１の導電率と第２ワイヤ３２の導電率は互いに異なることが好ましく、特に第１ワイヤ３１の導電率は第２ワイヤ３２の導電率よりも大きいことが好ましい。また、第１ワイヤ３１の径は第２ワイヤ３２の径よりも大きいことが好ましい。また、第１ワイヤ３１の長さは第２ワイヤ３２の長さよりも短いことが好ましい。これらの構成の少なくとも１つによれば、第１発光素子部に流れる電流を第２発光素子部に流れる電流よりも大きくすることができる。このため、補助光源としての第２発光素子部を必要にして十分な発光強度で発光させつつ、主要光源としての第１発光素子部を所望の発光強度で十分に発光させることが容易になる。 (1st wire 31, 2nd wire 32)
The first wire 31 and the second wire 32 are preferably made of different materials. Further, the conductivity of the first wire 31 and the conductivity of the second wire 32 are preferably different from each other, and in particular, the conductivity of the first wire 31 is preferably larger than that of the second wire 32. Further, the diameter of the first wire 31 is preferably larger than the diameter of the second wire 32. Further, the length of the first wire 31 is preferably shorter than the length of the second wire 32. According to at least one of these configurations, the current flowing through the first light emitting element portion can be made larger than the current flowing through the second light emitting element portion. Therefore, it becomes easy to sufficiently emit light from the first light emitting element unit as the main light source with a desired light emitting intensity while requiring a second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity.

（透光性部材５０、蛍光体６０）
透光性部材５０は、基台１０上に設けられ、第１発光素子部と第２発光素子部とを被覆する。透光性部材５０によれば、外力、埃、及び水分などから第１、第２発光素子部を保護することができる。 (Translucent member 50, phosphor 60)
The translucent member 50 is provided on the base 10 and covers the first light emitting element portion and the second light emitting element portion. According to the translucent member 50, the first and second light emitting element portions can be protected from external force, dust, moisture and the like.

透光性部材５０は蛍光体６０を含有している。第１発光素子部からの光による蛍光体６０の励起効率は、第２発光素子部からの光による蛍光体６０の励起効率よりも高い。実施形態１に係る発光装置１では、第１発光素子部の発光強度が第２発光素子部の発光強度よりも高いため、このようにすれば、透光性部材５０に含有される蛍光体６０を効率的に励起することができる。そのため、発光装置１の光取り出し効率を向上させることができる。 The translucent member 50 contains a phosphor 60. The excitation efficiency of the phosphor 60 by the light from the first light emitting element portion is higher than the excitation efficiency of the phosphor 60 by the light from the second light emitting element portion. In the light emitting device 1 according to the first embodiment, the light emitting intensity of the first light emitting element portion is higher than the light emitting intensity of the second light emitting element portion. Therefore, in this way, the phosphor 60 contained in the translucent member 50 Can be excited efficiently. Therefore, the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 1 can be improved.

蛍光体６０としては、例えば、セリウムで賦活されたイットリウム・アルミニウム・ガーネット、セリウムで賦活されたルテチウム・アルミニウム・ガーネット、ユウロピウム及び／又はクロムで賦活された窒素含有アルミノ珪酸カルシウム（カルシウムの一部をストロンチウムで置換可）、ユウロピウムで賦活されたサイアロン、ユウロピウムで賦活されたシリケート、ユウロピウムで賦活されたアルミン酸ストロンチウム、マンガンで賦活されたフッ化珪酸カリウムなどを用いることができる。 Examples of the phosphor 60 include cerium-activated yttrium aluminum garnet, cerium-activated strontium aluminum garnet, europium and / or chromium-activated nitrogen-containing calcium aluminate (a part of calcium). Strontium can be replaced), europium-activated sialon, europium-activated silicate, europium-activated strontium aluminate, manganese-activated potassium fluoride, and the like can be used.

透光性部材５０における蛍光体６０の含有量は、第１発光素子部の周辺と第２発光素子部の周辺とで異なることが好ましい。具体的には、第１発光素子部の周辺における蛍光体６０の含有量が第２発光素子部の周辺における蛍光体６０の含有量よりも大きいことが好ましい。前記のとおり発光素子の電気抵抗は発光素子周辺の熱が上がるほど下がる傾向にあるが、このようにすれば、第１発光素子部の周辺の熱抵抗が第１発光素子部の周辺の熱抵抗よりも大きくなり、第１発光素子部の周辺が第２発光素子部の周辺よりも高熱となる。したがって、第１発光素子部に流れる電流を第２発光素子部に流れる電流よりも大きくすることができる。このため、補助光源としての第２発光素子部を必要にして十分な発光強度で発光させつつ、主要光源としての第１発光素子部を所望の発光強度で十分に発光させることが容易になる。 The content of the phosphor 60 in the translucent member 50 is preferably different between the periphery of the first light emitting element portion and the periphery of the second light emitting element portion. Specifically, it is preferable that the content of the phosphor 60 in the vicinity of the first light emitting element portion is larger than the content of the phosphor 60 in the periphery of the second light emitting element portion. As described above, the electric resistance of the light emitting element tends to decrease as the heat around the light emitting element increases, but in this way, the thermal resistance around the first light emitting element portion becomes the thermal resistance around the first light emitting element portion. The peripheral portion of the first light emitting element portion becomes hotter than the periphery of the second light emitting element portion. Therefore, the current flowing through the first light emitting element portion can be made larger than the current flowing through the second light emitting element portion. Therefore, it becomes easy to sufficiently emit light from the first light emitting element unit as the main light source with a desired light emitting intensity while requiring a second light emitting element unit as an auxiliary light source to emit light with a sufficient light emitting intensity.

透光性部材５０は蛍光体６０だけではなくフィラーを含有することもできる。フィラーとしては、具体的に、ガラスファイバー、ワラストナイト等の繊維状フィラー、窒化アルミニウム、カーボン等の無機フィラー、シリカ、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化マグネシウム、ガラス、蛍光体６０と無機物の結合材との焼結体等を用いることができる。透光性部材５０がフィラーを含有する場合には、上記した蛍光体６０の含有量の場合と同様の理由により、蛍光体６０の含有量とフィラーの含有量の合計量が、第１発光素子部の周辺と第２発光素子部の周辺とで異なることが好ましい。具体的には、第１発光素子部の周辺における蛍光体６０の含有量とフィラーの含有量の合計量が第２発光素子部の周辺における蛍光体６０の含有量とフィラーの含有量の合計量よりも大きいことが好ましい。 The translucent member 50 may contain not only the phosphor 60 but also a filler. Specific examples of the filler include fibrous fillers such as glass fiber and wallastonite, inorganic fillers such as aluminum nitride and carbon, silica, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, magnesium oxide, glass, phosphor 60 and inorganic substances. A sintered body or the like with the binder of the above can be used. When the translucent member 50 contains a filler, the total amount of the phosphor 60 content and the filler content is the first light emitting device for the same reason as in the case of the phosphor 60 content described above. It is preferable that the periphery of the portion and the periphery of the second light emitting element portion are different. Specifically, the total amount of the phosphor 60 content and the filler content around the first light emitting element portion is the total amount of the phosphor 60 content and the filler content around the second light emitting element portion. Is preferably larger than.

発光装置１はツェナーダイオードなどの保護素子７０を備えていてもよい。保護素子７０を備える場合には、第１発光素子部や第２発光素子部に過大な電流が流れることが抑制される。 The light emitting device 1 may include a protective element 70 such as a Zener diode. When the protective element 70 is provided, it is possible to prevent an excessive current from flowing through the first light emitting element portion and the second light emitting element portion.
